BEST SELLERS

In Hard Drive / SSD Enclosures

Works with all NVME SSDs I have tried. Samsung, HP, Plextor, and Hynix. Very fast. Saturates USB 3.0 and 3.1 speeds. Comes with 3.0 and 3.1 cables.

Install is pretty simple and using is as easy as any other USB device

Great user interface/graphic design

-Easy to setup. -Great quality. -Great price.

For the past year we have been using this once a month with a 16TB drive to replace tape drive backups of an Ubuntu server - takes less than 10 hours to write almost 4.5 TB over a USB 3.0 connection (one drive holds 3 monthly backups). No issues yet.

I just barely bought it and plugged in my 4 software raided hard drives and my OS (Ubuntu) mounted them immediately and I had full access to everything I had set up before. The unit feels pretty sturdy and the cooling seems effective. If something happens down the road I'll update this review. This has HDMI built in. I imagine it would work if I had used the built in hardware/software raid (whatever it is) for playing media directly to a screen. I don't plan on using that feature so I can't review it.

Reliable data backups (no corruption) Reliable hardware.

-Great if you have spare m.2 chips that you want to access. -Small footprint means you can place it almost anywhere -Useful for backing up information with its quick read/write speed

Small footprint fit under computer table on top of my desktop.

Solid construction and I appreciate the inclusion of extra mounting fasterners, along with the screwdriver in a reusable plastic pouch. I can confirm it works with a SAMSUNG SM951 M.2 256GB Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) .

just used this last night to clone my drive c to a larger m.2 and it took all of five minutes using the usb-c connection and Easeus disc copy...

+ Price / Value + Cool Faux-Retro Aesthetic + Great for Stacking / Easy Storage * They may not be designed to stack per se but they do a good enough job (much better than an enclosure with rounded edges) and that is such a huge bonus as it helps me to keep all of my drives organized and less prone to becoming a cluttered mess.

There are almost as many M.2 to USB enclosures on the market as there are Linux distros. This was the first one when sorted by price low to high at the time that seemed like a good idea to buy. Included cables (plural) are actually decent, is not just not hideous but even mildly visually pleasing IMO, statured the bandwidth of a USB 3.something-this-week-Gen-whatever 5Gbs connection with a mildly abused WD_Black SN750 installed. The included screwdriver was a nice touch.

I like the USB C to USB A adapter is included and tethered. I tend to still just use USB A 3.0 ports. I am currently using a SSD M.2 but like that it supports both SSD and NVME (provided they fit the keys in the description). Getting really good speeds.

Easy setup - open slide in drive / place foam backer and close USB3 fast interface

Takes 1 minute to attach to my computer....comes with the USB cable and power cord. Plug it in, insert one or two disk drives (either 3.5 or 2.5, either spinning or solid state, press the power button on the unit and my computer recognized the drives in less than 10 seconds. Got initial transfer rates of well over 1 Gigabyte per second for about 5 seconds then it reduced to an ongoing rate of about 200MB per second. Note i use this for secondary drives and have not used it to actually "duplicate" one disk to another. Very happy.

- Youre a man with his own backup software, probably Acronis if you're over the age of 20.... You don't need fancy features on your hardware as you have all the controls in software. -StarTech is best tech. I coulda bought Rosewill, but then I'd have to see their face of disgust. Not happening.
